Pro Palestine protesters descend upon London, PM stands with Israel

Thousands of people came out in London to support opposing sides amid a flare up of violence in occupied Palestine. Israel’s embassy became the focus of a huge outpouring of support for Palestine.

At the same time, a separate pro Israel vigil was held outside Downing Street, in attendance was the British prime minister, who used the occasion to reiterate his staunch support for Israel’s regime.

Pro Palestine protesters use their voice to condemn the occupation, which they say is the bottom line cause for the recent bloodshed.

Many people across the UK are deeply saddened but also very furious, not just the images and videos of intense suffering coming out from occupied Palestine right now, but also at the British authorities themselves.

The UK government, for example, is expressing some extreme pro Israel comments right now throwing their full support behind the regime, which is currently engaged in bombing raids on Gaza, which is targeting very heavily civilian populated areas.

Several senior UK Government ministers have fully committed their support to Israel. The Prime Minister tweeted on Saturday that he was “shocked by this morning’s attacks by Hamas terrorists. Israel has an absolute right to defend itself”, before adding a tweet showing the Israeli flag projected across number 10 Downing Street.
